Society’s misconceptions about the careers blind people can pursue are limiting and lack imagination.
That's why we have the Virtual Career Exploration Fair, which connects blind people with professionals across a wide range of industries.

Working from home has its perks, but it can sometimes feel isolating! 🏠 Andy shares how Be My Eyes Workplace helps tackle that feeling, not just as an accessibility tool, but as a bridge to real connection at work. 💙
